Get instant notifications of updates to ColdFusion in your ColdFusion Administrator and save time on installing updates using the one-click Hotfix installer.

An online healthcare portal addresses the emergency needs of patients through a messaging channel with doctors on the website. A message channel in the form of a live chat can be easily integrated with the existing website using HTML5 web sockets. The website can email prescription and payment details to the patient using built-in email management and scheduled tasks functionality.

The built-in support for HTML5 web sockets helps you easily create applications for online collaboration by introducing group chat, whiteboarding, document reviews, and presentations. It also supports the binary data being pushed from the server to the client. Using a simple file or a database to store data on the server, ColdFusion provides an integrated solution to effortlessly access that data.

An Internet music store has an enormous repository of audio and video files. The store can display customized information relevant to its users. Using the seamless Java integration, a website with a ColdFusion back end can easily invoke the existing Java libraries to fetch the metadata from the files quickly and present the information in a dynamic interface made possible by Adobe ColdFusion.

A technology company introduces flexible training options for its employees located in different time zones, through recorded e-seminars accessible on the intranet. These videos can be displayed across multiple devices with new video player functionality. The evaluation for online tests can be provided through a simple back-end program created using the CFSCRIPT support and language enhancements.

A developer, who wants to rapidly build online gaming applications, can use Adobe ColdFusion as a powerful back end.
